Ovulation Comparison Update ....

toshamc Mar 12, 2006 10:36 AM

Well last week I'd posted that my big girl had ovulated but it looked quite a bit smaller (in length) than her previous year and had lasted only 1/2 a day before going away (previous year almost 2 days). forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1025921,1025921] Thread

Well she is back at it - pulled out her tub this morning and she is huge again. I know ovulation doesn't come across as obvious in photos as it does in 3D but it really is unmistakeably ovulation (Looks and feels like she swollowed a football) - LOL.

Here are todays picts:


Thoughts - if it is a double ovulation - which day do I use to start counting till eggs? She wouldn't lay on two seperate days would she?

Thanks!

Looks like it ate my dog. Very nice snake, I like the color and reduced pattern.

LOL it does look like it ate Daves dog . Tosha, I think I'd count from this last ovulation. Uneducated guess, but it seems there would be no reason for a second OV unless the first one didn't take for whatever reason.

I have seen pre ovulation swelling in females before.

usually about a week before the real ov.

It is usually smaller and faster, maybe this is what you saw???

I always count from completion of of POS.

My girls have been quite regular going from that time.
